Elder Scrolls Online: 7 Side Quests You Should Prioritize In The Game

Almost all MMORPGs have an open continent as a carrier for the entire game story. For Elder Scrolls Online, this continent is the vast Tamriel. Tamriel consists of 9 provinces, which were ruled by the empire in the past, but this unified situation gradually disintegrated in the second century of the fourth era. Now the 9 provinces belong to different races and forces in Tamriel. Among them, Cyrodiil, because it is located at the core of the entire continent, used to be the capital of the empire, and it is still the main habitat of humans now-all this is for the game story level. In fact, different provinces also play different roles in ESO’s gameplay. For example, Cyrodiil is a zone that allows players to engage in large-scale PVP battles outside of regular content. However, it is precisely because of this function that Cyrodiil has to carry many players to enter, so that the zone has long had serious server performance issues. However, after entering 2025, this situation is expected to change through a new test, that is, Cyrodiil Champions. Introduction To Cyrodiil As one of the main provinces of ESO, Cyrodiil is not only the capital of Tamriel but also the central battlefield of Three Banners War. In the past, Aldmeri Dominion, Daggerfall Covenant, and Ebonheart Pact fought for control of Imperial City, the Ruby Throne, and Cyrodiil. On the other hand, when the game was just launched in 2014, Cyrodiil was well received by players and industry insiders as a large-scale open world PVP area. Here you can be a member in one of the three factions in the game, and besiege each other’s territory with hundreds of players from other factions, and earn ESO Gold and even other more precious resources through endless and free battles. How To Fight In This Zone? Generally speaking, as long as you reach level 10 in the game, you can enter Cyrodiil and join one of the multiple campaigns. Then in the campaign, if your character is below level 50, the campaign will raise your character’s attributes to the same level as level 50 to eliminate the level difference between players, but it is still recommended to start Cyrodiil campaign after reaching level 50, because your gear and skill level will be better at this time. During the campaign, you need to fight with players of the same faction and real players of the enemy faction for control of Cyrodiil. There are multiple campaigns in Cyrodiil, but your character can only be assigned to one main campaign and one guest campaign (with different amounts of rewards available). If you want to access other campaigns, this requires 15,000 ESO Gold. Cyrodiil’s Flaws Although the campaign gameplay in Cyrodiil and the huge PVP scale it brought made Elder Scrolls Online unparalleled for a while shortly after its launch, the zone soon had many bugs due to the large number of players it had to bear at the same time and the complexity of the entire underlying game, such as poor frame rate and extremely delayed combat, which caused the core highlight PVP siege gameplay to always fail to work properly. The most direct way to solve these flaws may be to reduce the scale of PVP combat, but then Cyrodiil will undoubtedly lose its greatest value. The only way is to upgrade technology continuously to solve Cyrodiil’s server overload problem. Over the past decade, ESO developers have been working hard on this, and with the arrival of the eleventh year, this embarrassing situation may be expected to change. What Is Cyrodiil Champions? Cyrodiil Champions is actually a public test for Cyrodiil bugs that will start running on ESO’s live PC servers on March 24, 2025, and is expected to last for a week to the 31st. This test event will simplify your character’s class skills while retaining all large-scale sieges in Cyrodiil and disable more advanced combat benefits, including passive abilities and armor types. This simplification will undoubtedly greatly change the class capabilities in Cyrodiil. For example, your character will not be able to cause damage and heal at the same time, which was possible before. In addition, some unnecessary modeling in the battle scenes is expected to be simplified or directly cancelled. You May Like: What Big Changes Will You See In Elder Scrolls Online In 2025? Although you may doubt whether this approach is only a temporary solution, the development team said that on the one hand, PVE and PVP modes should be strictly distinguished because they provide different experiences, so on this basis, making PVP more distinctive through simplification is a necessary and bold attempt. On the other hand, simplification will actually be more friendly to players, especially if you are a novice who is afraid of fighting against real people. Simplifying the skill operation in the PVP mode may make you more willing to enter Cyrodiil to experience related campaigns. The Significance Of Cyrodiil Champions Since the end of 2024, Elder Scrolls Online has announced and started to implement a number of new initiatives in the hope that you will see a completely different ESO, and the emergence of Cyrodiil Champions is undoubtedly one of the changes. If the feedback from this test is good enough in the end, it will not only mean that Cyrodiil defects that have troubled players and the development team for many years have finally been solved, but also represent that in 2025, the year when a new era of ESO begins, the game has made another new and representative progress. In short, Cyrodiil Champions is very worth looking forward to. If you want to know whether Cyrodiil campaign gameplay will get better in the future through it, start to experience it on March 24!

The much-anticipated ESO Anniversary Jubilee Event has finally arrived! We can continue to join this event until April 23rd and receive a 100% XP boost and a lot of cakes. Here, we’ll share how to get boxes, event tickets, and other cosmetics scattered around the world during Anniversary Event. Start Event First, to start the event, you need to complete the mission, For Cake’s Sake, and get this year’s Jubilee Cake. You can find chefs near the docks in Auridon, Stonefalls, and Glenumbra, or you can get the starter quest for free in Crown Store, which will take you directly to them. How To Get An Anniversary Cake? Then, you also need to collect some ingredients and complete some interactions. These can be found near the quest giver, and upon completing the quest, you’ll receive 2024 Anniversary Cake! It’s worth noting that XP boost is passively applied to anyone who logs in during the event, so you don’t have to eat cake every few hours to get the bonus. But you still need to use cake every day to get 3 Event Tickets, so don’t forget to grab it and use it! Gift Boxes This year, you can get Gift Boxes from a few alternative sources, but as always, any daily quest in the game will net you a Gift Box. This includes Daily Writs, so there’s no better time than now to get them done! You can also get boxes by killing and looting the last boss or world boss in dungeons, trials, and any incursion event. In Rewards for the Worthy mail, you have a chance to win a box from Tales of Tribute rewards. Note, however, that this chance increases based on the number of opponents defeated during Tribute daily and their difficulty. You’ll get a gold reward box the first day you complete it, but all subsequent drops will be purple boxes. There are 2 new items in this year’s Gift Box, Earthbone Ayleid Style and Jubilee Steed, but both only appear in the daily gold box. Note that Jubilee Steed requires 25 fragments, and these fragments are bound when picked up. Obtaining this mount will result in an achievement, but you won’t be able to complete it with what the event offers. This means if you want to complete it, be prepared to spend your ticket. Drops The drops in purple boxes compare favorably to last year’s boxes, and include drops familiar to long-time players, as well as guaranteed materials, some of which are profitable. You can make a decent amount of ESO Gold just by selling some of your excess materials. Currently, I’ve opened around 300 boxes to test drops and can tell you that new motifs appear to have been added to the drop pool! New Cosmetic Replica Rewards Besides Gift Boxes, you can also earn new cosmetic replica rewards by doing specific things, but these items are bound when picked up. Also, you have a slight chance of finding Outfit Style Pages for Trueflame Sword Replica at any fishing node during the event. This is a very rare drop that can be obtained while fishing in Stonefalls in 2014! All Dolmens Loot Chests have a chance to drop Style Pages for Staff of Worms Replica. Any World Boss in Vvardenfell may drop Style Pages of Sunna’rah Replica or Barbas Helmet Replica. Any Geysers in Summerset may drop Style Pages for Ul’vor Staff. Event Merchant For this event, Impresario also has a huge inventory, including the return of cake furnishings for all cakes! Every year you participate in Jubilee, you can buy matching cakes to keep at home. There will also be slices of cake for sale this year, so you can buy whatever you played that year. Earning each slice is associated with an achievement, and each slice is a ticket. So if you are an achievement seeker, keep this in mind! For those paying close attention, you’ll need around 25 Event Tickets to complete the achievement, depending on how long you play. Besides her usual stock of items, new Jubilee Steed Mount fragments, Earthbone Style Pages, and the first 2 fragments of Master of Schemes Personality are also on sale. She will also carry a Jubilee Grab Bag containing old items that are no longer dropped. Note that you will only get items you don’t already have. If you’re new to the game and want to get your hands on some of these items, check out guild traders before picking them up to minimize the potential loot pool. Additionally, other merchants have also changed their inventories. Philius Dormier will provide Deadlands Scorcher Skin fragments this time, while Indrik Vendor has been replaced with 2 different mounts and non-combat pets. In short, these are the items you can get during ESO Anniversary Jubilee Event! Hurry up and get involved! Enjoy your anniversary celebration!

Today, I’ll guide you through the fantastic items available from the Golden Vendor in the Elder Scrolls Online. We’ll explore whether there are any valuable event ticket items in this guide. Leveraging these vendors can serve as a lucrative gold method, potentially helping you make millions. Location When it comes to locating her, you’ll find her situated in Cyrodiil. If you’re in the Blue Team, you can spot her near The Stables within the confines of Northern High Rock Gate. If you are in the Yellow Team, she’ll be positioned towards the bank in Western Elsweyr Gate. And for those in the Red Team, she’ll be stationed in Southern Morrowind Gate. Golden Vendor Items Let's take a look at the offerings from the Golden Vendor and pick some of them for gold. As usual, she's selling some monster pieces and jewelry. Jewelry When it comes to the jewelry, the Queen's Elegance set isn't particularly impressive but if you're building a heavy attack-focused character and lack of combs, this set might provide some utility. It grants a power boost upon using a fully charged heavy attack, allowing for repeated use. Still, there are better options available for heavy attack builds, so I'd suggest skipping this one. Moving on to the Heirloom Necklace, it's not eye-catching, but it's not completely lackluster either. Positioned somewhere in the middle, it offers some stamina sustain for healers in PvE. It's a viable choice if you're looking to enhance group stamina recovery. I recommend acquiring one and invest ESO Gold in it. This purchase allows for experimentation and fine-tuning on the healer character. The next item you have for jewelry is the Unleashed Amulet, part of the Unleashed Terror set. This used to be really good, but it's been nerfed quite a bit now. It's not terrible for a DoT version, and worth getting this if you want to fill up your Sticker Book. But it’s not really worth using unless you go for a super DoT build. Monster Pieces Let's talk about the Lady Thorn set. The Lady Thorn comes from a DLC dungeon, making it a potential acquisition if you're seeking DLC sets. However, its performance is rather middling. You can grab it solely to fill out the Sticker Book, saving the hassle of revisiting the dungeon. Let's then discuss the Slimeclaw. Slimeclaw stands out as an excellent choice, particularly for PvE content. If you frequently play stamina characters, having one piece of Slimeclaw in your setup is quite common. Therefore, I highly recommend acquiring this item. While it's possible to farm it, keep in mind that as a shoulder piece, you'll need to use keys, which introduce an element of chance into the process. Nonetheless, given its effectiveness, I suggest purchasing at least one of these. In PvP scenarios, its performance isn't exceptional, as there are superior monster sets available. However, for PvE enthusiasts, Slimeclaw is definitely worth adding to your collection. Infinite Archive Now, let’s go to the Infinite Archive and see if there are any good leads there. The Infinite Archive can sell leads for certain Mythic Items or antiquities, and some of those antiquities can be quite annoying to farm, especially the ones tied to daily quests. Both leads are really hard to get, so it’s always worth checking it out. The trader in Infinite Archive is located in the Far East, and he’s called Filur. Filur sells two leads typically, and then some decoration bits. This week, he has a blue furniture and a gold lead for the Dwarven Hinges. My recommendation would be to save your resources for this week.

By now, you’re all aware of the exciting news. The developers recently launched ESO Plus Free Trial event, which will last until Wednesday, June 19, 2024 at 10:00 AM EDT. ESO Plus includes some significant features, but if you don’t normally subscribe because of price or game time, you might be wondering which quick or important feature unlocks you should focus on during the current Free Trial. This guide has everything you need to know about instant unlocks, including what they are and where to get them so you can get them during ESO Plus Trial! We’ll also show you the best uses for ESO Plus Trial, what things you should prioritize during your trial, and what will and won’t work after Free Trial is over. Before we get into the details, remember to activate it from Crown Store under ESO Plus tab while Free Trial is available. Keeping And Refining Your Materials If your character has a Craft Bag, make sure to log in and move their stuff into Craft Bag. This way, anything in the bag will stay in the bag even after Free Trial ends, so use it while it’s available! You can also use this Trial to refine your raw materials, preferably on a character with the best Refining passive skill and Meticulous Disassembly CP passive slotted. Unlocking Instant Dungeon Collectibles First, let’s look at Dungeon collectibles, all of which are unlocked by entering 1 of the 2 dungeons included in each Dungeon DLC. You don’t even need to complete the dungeon, just enter it! Visit Ruins of Mazzatun or Cradle of Shadows and you’ll get Heroic Personality. Enter Falkreath Hold or Bloodroot Forge to get Bull Horns Emote. Enter Fang Lair or Scalecaller Peak to get Renegade Dragon Priest Mask. Unlock Werewolf Hunter Hat by entering Moon Hunter Keep or March of Sacrifices. Enter Frostvault or Depths of Malatar and you’ll get Ayleid Royal Crown. Step into Lair of Maarselok or Moongrave Fane to unlock Dread-Aurelian Mask. Visit Unhallowed Grave or Icereach to get Wickerman Mishap Emote. Enter Castle Thorn or Stone Garden to get Energetic Dwarven Shock-Spider. Enter Cauldron or Black Drake Villa to use Fire-Forged Maul Weapon Style. After entering Red Petal Bastion or Dread Cellar, Scorion Pyreling Non-Combat Pet will be added to your collection. After entering Coral Aerie or Shipwright’s Regret, you will get these Abyssal Embrace Face Markings. After entering Earthen Root Enclave or Graven Deep, Mulberry Hermit Crab will be added to your collection. However, Scribes of Fate and Scions of Ithelia Dungeons do not offer any Exploration Achievements. Unlocking DLC Zone Collectible DLC zones also have their own treasures, some of which are as easy as visiting a major city: Wrothgar You can get Echalette Pet by entering Orsinium in Wrothgar. Thieves Guild In Thieves Guild DLC, you can unlock Jackal Pet by entering Abah’s Landing. If you take the time to complete the first zone story quest, you’ll also get Thieves Guild Leathers. Dark Brotherhood Dark Brotherhood unlocks Assassin Personality by entering Gold Coast zone, and completing the second zone story quest will add Shrouded Armor Costume to your collection. Clockwork City Dovah-Fly pet is unlocked by entering Brass Fortress in Clockwork City. There are also 3 side quests available from Outlaws Refuges that will give you supply recipes. You can also rebuild Precursor Target Dummy, but this is a bit time consuming and not worth the effort. This Target Dummy won’t give you accurate numbers when parsed, but it’s a nice cosmetic addition. Murkmire This colorful Haj Mota pet is unlocked by entering Lilmoth in Murkmire for the first time. Southern Elsweyr Entering Southern Elsweyr for the first time unlocks Topal Corsair Hat, and you can also complete zone side quests to unlock additional pages if you like that style. If you complete the zone story quest, you can unlock Mask of Alkosh Hat and Za’ji’s Dragonguard Uniform. Markarth Entering Reach Zone for the first time unlocks Arkthzand Anfractuosity Shroud. There is also a side quest in Karthwasten called After the Storm that grants you Reach Rebel Face Markings. The last zone story quest has matching Body Markings. And you can unlock Witchwise Headdress Collectible Hat by completing the 4th zone story quest. Deadlands In Deadlands, you will unlock Oblivion Explorer’s Headwrap when you enter Fargrave for the first time. Firesong When you first enter Galen, you’ll unlock Firesong Obsidian Mask. You’ll also unlock matching Face and Body Markings and Phoenix Moth pet after completing the zone story quest. Other Uses For ESO Plus Trial In addition, other simple and worthwhile things you can do during ESO Plus Trial include: If you take the time to complete Daily Crafting Writs, stock up on Craft Bags! You can get basic style Stones, Potency Runes and Ta Runes, Alchemy, Ingredients, and any other long-term materials you might need from Crafting Vendors for 15 ESO Gold each. Unlock Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and Psijic Skill Lines for each of your characters. Collect Skyshards, Lorebooks, and unlock exploration, questing dyes, and achievements in areas you wouldn’t normally be able to access. Dye your clothing! This is something that you do for every character, so the same clothing may dye differently on different characters. If you have a companion expansion, you can also dye their clothing. On top of that, take advantage of the 2x furnishing limits in your home to complete treasure maps in areas you wouldn’t normally be able to access. If you have Antiquities rank, dig for clues that would otherwise be inaccessible. Finally, let’s talk about the more time-consuming uses of ESO Plus Trial. You can collect 4-man DLC dungeon set pieces. Remember to bind them when you get any you haven’t collected yet to minimize duplication. You can also fully explore and complete zone maps, completing DLC ​​Trials to earn gear drops and achievements. Completing 2 public dungeon group events in each expansion zone grants 1 skill point. You can also stockpile DLC Daily Coffers on multiple characters. Newer zones have a 20-hour cooldown on Motifs Page drops in the daily reward container, so you can collect a bunch of boxes and stop opening them after you get Motifs Page. Doing this will allow you to continue to earn those Motifs even after Trial ends. What Features Will Continue To Work After Trial Ends? So, what features will continue to work and what will no longer work after Trial ends or you stop paying for ESO Plus? Firstly, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood and Psijic Skill Lines will continue to exist, allowing you to continue to loot Thieves Troves and Psijic Portals, and Blade of Woe will continue to function. You can still assign and unassign skill points in Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Psijic Skill, Scrying, and Excavation skill trees, but you cannot develop them further, and they are only available on the character you unlocked them for. If you no longer own Greymoor, Antiquities System will stop working after Trial ends. Fortunately, houses acquired in DLC zones will continue to work. The only difference is that when leaving a house, you will not enter DLC zone, but teleport back to the location you were in when you went to the house. Note that since Jewelry Crafting skill line requires Summerset, after ESO Plus expires, you can no longer access Jewelry Crafting Station if you do not own this DLC. So definitely consider completing those valuable research traits when you have access! If you don’t plan on keeping your ESO Plus, remember to set your priorities. I recommend getting the instant unlocks first, then focusing on what you think is most important. Just a reminder, all collectibles are account-wide unlocks! Anyway, hopefully you get all the exceptional free stuff, and this guide will help you find and unlock them! Good luck!
